A 32-year-old man has appeared in Court charged with the murder of his mother in Co Derry earlier this year.
Alun Kinny Evans was also charged with possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply when he appeared at Coleraine Magistrates Court.
Retired businesswoman Margaret Evans (69) was found with fatal injuries in the garden of her Knockancor Drive home in Portstewart on 4 June.
Evans spoke only once, confirming he understood the charges, during the brief hearing.
The Court was told Evans had been receiving treatment at the secure mental health facility at Shannon clinic in Knockbracken in Belfast.
He was released on his own bail to £2,500 on the condition that he resides at the secure unit in Knockbracken.
